Should You Use Bleach When Soft Washing? What Pros Do

Yes. For soft washing, a bleach-based mix is the standard for killing algae, mold and mildew at the root. That is why a soft-washed surface stays clean longer than one that was only blasted with water.

Why it works

Water pressure only knocks dirt off the top. The cleaning mix kills what is growing in and under the surface, so the green and black stains do not come right back.

How pros do it safely

  1. Wet and protect the plants first.
  2. Use the right mix strength for the surface.
  3. Apply at low pressure.
  4. Let it work, then rinse well.

Do not guess on strength. Too strong can hurt plants and finishes. See our soft wash roof cleaning and house washing.
